Thanks to some very fortunate events, I can now increase my budget to $4000, and that gives me some money to add the custom Water Loop I've always wanted to do. I've never built a water loop, so I know nothing about what I should buy. I would like to Water cool my CPU, and GPU, so if you can add on to my current build, a loop that can do this for me, for no more than $600, that would be fantastic! Thank you!

well your going to want a better case. a 240 rad with a d5 pump will be fine for the cpu. but your going to want a single 480 rad or two 240 rads for the two classys. frozencpu.com has everything you would want. take a look at the xpsc ax240 series. you can get a little more performance by getting corsair sp fans, they make them in quiet and performance depending on your sound needs. you can save a little by getting the fittings and tubing yourself. ekwb has the blocks you need for the classys.

i highly recommend xspc, their rx line of rads are amazing and built for performance at low fan speed, i myself have a overclocked i5 and a classy 780 and temps are amazing! i spent $417 for the rx360 kit and an ek classy block, but you can spend more or less if you want multiple rads, or better visuals.
